Many parts of the county, including nearby villages heading down the A361 towards Banbury, experienced flooding throughout the first few days of 2024 due to heavy rains.
This overflowed the River Cherwell, inundated roads and property, and prompted flood warnings.
Following the nationwide flood warnings issued due to Storm Henk last week, a resident of Banbury bravely explored the town and its surrounding areas to capture a few videos and photographs for the residents.
Callum Hawkes, a 34-year-old Banbury resident, started taking photographs as a hobby more than six months ago after purchasing a drone.
Callum said: “It was quite flooded. The river was running quite fast as well.
“I couldn’t believe how high the flood water was. It wasn’t rising or anything. It was safe enough. Quite a few people were coming down to have a look at it.”
